Im using eclipse and i need to invoke a jar file from the perl script .

#!"C:\xampp\perl\bin\perl.exe"

OP's code is perfect double quotes misuse case, use strict and use warnings would alarm about potential problem

use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
my @args = ("java", "-jar", "C:\Users\RajendraPrasadH\eclipseworkspace\ApplicationProtector\target\ApplicationProtector-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar");

say for @args;

Output

Unrecognized escape \R passed through at misuse_double_quote_1.pl line 6.
Unrecognized escape \A passed through at misuse_double_quote_1.pl line 6.
Unrecognized escape \A passed through at misuse_double_quote_1.pl line 6.
Content-Type: text/html

java
-jar
C:SERSRAJENDRAPRASADHCLIPSEWORKSPACEAPPLICATIONPROTECTOR       ARGETAPPLICATIONPROTECTOR-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.JAR

Perl interpreter performed interpolation of double quoted string by expanding backshash sequences.

Correct code for @args = ('...','...','...')

use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
my @args = ('java', '-jar', 'C:\Users\RajendraPrasadH\eclipseworkspace\ApplicationProtector\target\ApplicationProtector-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar');
say for @args;

Output

Content-Type: text/html

java
-jar
C:\Users\RajendraPrasadH\eclipseworkspace\ApplicationProtector\target\ApplicationProtector-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

More natural way would be to write code as

use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';

say "Content-Type: text/html\n";
my @args = qw/java -jar C:\Users\RajendraPrasadH\eclipseworkspace\ApplicationProtector\target\ApplicationProtector-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar/;

say for @args;

system(@args);

Output

Content-Type: text/html

java
-jar
C:\Users\RajendraPrasadH\eclipseworkspace\ApplicationProtector\target\ApplicationProtector-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
